The moment we ’ve been await for .
Saturday Night LivealumMaya Rudolphteased her return to the stage asVice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 presidential candidate.
During a recent appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live, which featuredRuPaulas the night’s guest host, Maya opened up about whyreprising this roleholds such a special meaning this time around.
“I have to tell you something: I’ve never experienced anything like this with any of the work I’ve ever done,” Maya said. “This has been such a tremendous, exciting time for me that feels so much bigger than me or anything I’ve ever done.”
“I’ve played her on the show already, but the minute that it was announced that she was running, I think I was home watchingThe Bear, and it was like announced that I confirmed doingSNL. I was like, ‘I did what?'”
TheLootstar acknowledged the outpour of encouragement she’s been receiving to bring her one-of-a-kind rendition of the Democratic nominee back toSNL, as well as the ultimate impact it’s had on her to play such a role.
“I would have never believed you if you had said, ‘Hey, one day you are going to be playing the presidential candidate.’ For me to think that I have anything to do with this by association is mind-blowing.”
“I spent so many years onSNL, watching other people play presidential candidates, and thinking there’s no one that resembles me in the race. To think that we’re here now and to think that I would ever be close by association is so incredible.”
Although Mayaneither confirmed nor deniedif she’ll be stepping onto theSNLstage again, something tells me we’ll see her dressed as a certain someone real soon.
